I don't know how exactly to report this, but i want to share a workaround. Since its the guide that explains how to install jre 1.5, maybe consider adding this to the guide as well.
There is a bug (http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6289811) with java 1.5 which can make an application crash; for example Firefox running the pjirc (http://www.pjirc.com) applet.
This problem is related to the fonts Rekha and aakar, located in /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-gujarati-fonts/
Disabling these will prevent the crash, renaming or compressing both .ttf files would do.
Something like:
sudo bzip /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-gujarati-fonts/aakar-medium.ttf ; sudo bzip /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-gujarati-fonts/Rekha.ttf
Disables the fonts and prevents the crash.
